Good Lord! Lawsuits, payouts, legal fees this could very well be one of the underlying reasons the County asked the voters to extend 1A two years PRIOR to its original sunset date. All that money to cover their own corruption. Sad and pathetic! But, they won't ever be held accountable!

"The tax has raised more than $100 million since it began, and neither former Sheriff Terry Maketa nor Sheriff Bill Elder has spent it all. "

SO ... if 1A is generating more money than is being used/needed, WHY DIDN'T THE BOARD SCALE THE SALES & USE TAX RATE BACK? Why ask for the same .23% increase if it's generating more money than is being used or needed?

GREED!

The Commissioners and Elder are greedy bastards that play games with our money, and the misuse of 1A is a glaring example! After Maketa left office, 1A became nothing more than an extra pot of money for irresponsible spending by Elder and the County! Oh, and 1A wasn't designed to pad Jim Reid's pockets either OR pad the pockets of Elder's political supporters.

The Commissioners oughta grow a pair and demand that Elder resign immediately and drop out of the upcoming election. EPC cannot afford another 4 years of his bullshiX; we just can't! Elder is the worst most corrupt Sheriff ever, and if he is re-elected there is a lot, including the Flick shooting, that oughta stand for grounds of a recall.

Assuming you were not aware, that CSPD 907 page case file/report, I believe you are referencing, is embedded in an "article" on KOAA's website. The link to that .pdf is about five sentences into the story.

Appears Elder has taken axxhole to a whole new level and is, once again, making some very bad decisions. Bad decisions that will cost the taxpayers big money to correct! Not only does he need to be schooled in leadership, but this idiot needs to learn emotional intelligence and anger management.

More evidence that Elder is the WORST, most EVIL and CORRUPT Sheriff El Paso County has ever had. Not sure how he can look at himself in the mirror everyday. Disgusting!
